Comment(by scottgprice at comcast.net):
I also am having this problem with my DCH-3200. The most frustrating
thing about this bug is that it makes my DCH unusable, because Myth as a
whole doesn't detect a problem. Once it goes into the mode described
above I get no shows recorded but Myth thinks everything is fine and
doesn't mark this tuner as "Unavailable". Because of this I end up with 8
to 10 empty files of our favorite shows instead of just 1 missed show and
nothing to give me a clue. I have even tried using a script to restart
Myth Backend but this only works about 50% of the time. The rest of the
time I have to completely reboot the machine or get behind the furniture
and unplug the firewire cable. At least marking the tuner "Unavailable"
when the data stops would be a big help. I have had this problem with 2
different firewire cards using different chip sets.
